BIG MATCH PREVIEW - OXFORD UNITED (AWAY)

Like City, Oxford were also successful in their Sky Bet League One fixture at the weekend, defeating Gillingham 3-0 at the Kassam Stadium.

The victory was Oxford's third league win out of their first six games under new coach Pep Clotet, who took charge at Grenoble Road over the summer following the departure of Michael Appleton to Leicester City.

The Bantams, of course, made three journeys to Oxford last season, including two trips for the rearranged Checkatrade Trophy quarter-final tie.

Oxford UnitedUnited boss Pep Clotet is expected to be without Christian Ribeiro and Jonathan Obika after the pair picked up injuries at the weekend.

Ribeiro was forced to pull out of the warm-up ahead of Saturday's win over Gillingham after feeling a twinge in his knee.

Obika started the Gillingham game but limped off in the second period.

Canice Carroll is expected to continue in defence after replacing Ribeiro in Oxford's back four at the weekend.

Clotet is likely to choose between either Gino van Kessel or former Bantams loanee Wes Thomas to replace in Obika in attack.

Recent signing Agon Mehmeti could be on the bench for the first time.

Former Newcastle defender Mike Williamson was on the bench for the Gillingham game after missing part of the week leading up to the match due to the birth of his child.

Williamson could remain on the bench for this Tuesday's game after his replacement, John Mousinho, helped Oxford to a clean-sheet in the Gillingham victory.

Bradford CityIn at attempt to freshen things up and keep energy levels high, Stuart McCall has hinted pre-match that he could make changes to his side for City's second away game in just four days.

Attacking trio Shay McCartan, Alex Jones and Omari Patrick will all be looking for a starting berth at the Kassam Stadium.

Paul Taylor and Daniel Devine are also options for McCall should he wish to tweak with his set-up for the visit to Oxford.

McCall will definitely be forced into at least one change at Oxford due to Adam Chicksen's red card late on during Saturday's win at Peterborough.

With Chicksen unavailable, either Adam Thompson or Tom Field will be expected to come into the side.
